The best way to predict the future is to create it yourself. Driving the transition to a sustainable and healthy global food system; that is the reason for existence of The Protein Brewery (TPB). We develop food ingredients that are sustainable and highly nutritious. Would you also like to contribute to solving one of the most important issues of our time? Then we would love to hear from you!

Who are we?

The Protein Brewery (TPB) is a young, highly innovative company that focuses on the development and production of sustainable food ingredients that contribute to an active lifestyle and healthy aging. We do this using an innovative biomass fermentation process. We are responding to the growing (global) need for healthy nutrition, especially for proteins and fibers and do this in a sustainable way, harnessing the power of fungi. Our team in Breda currently consists of 40 people and is growing rapidly.

The Protein Brewery recently raised its series-B funding and received EFSA approval for its key ingredient, Fermotein®. The current organisation is mission-driven, with the collective goal of the organisation, the teams and the individuals aligned. Our culture can be described by our core values:

SHARING the same purpose. Working together as one team in our pursuit to reach our mission and have a positive and lasting impact on the world around us and beyond, while having fun.

Enabling us to remain agile and to move ahead speedily. TRUSTING each other’s capacities, intentions and sense of responsibility, leading to a culture of ownership, undivided responsibility and relentless dedication.
